Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
Excellent tobacco. Needs to be dried out for at least half an hour. Smells and tastes just like German chocolate cake. If the smoking pace is slow and steady there is no bite. Truly an enjoyable dessert blend.
Nice mild smoking

Finally got around to opening a five year old tin. Great tin note, a pleasant smoke, nice flavor, a good steady smoke. It burned evenly and completely, no bite or after taste.

A flavorful tobacco with some depth. Great for activities or leisure. Good taste and little-to-no bite. Very enjoyable indeed.

Tin note of maple, coconut, and sweet. Tobacco is light brown and black ribbon cut with a little dark brown mixed in. Moisture content is a little high, drying may be preferred. Burns slow with few relights. The strength is mild to medium and nic is ... Read More
mild. Flavoring is mild to medium, with notes of Coconut, Cocoa and Maple. Maple lingers in the background, Cocoa dissipates about midway, and the Coconut dissipates in the first 1/4th. Taste is mild to medium and mostly consistent, with notes of toast, spices, marshmallow, sweet grass, dry wood, spicy/acidic, nuts, floral, orange peel, a brown sugar background note, and a peppery retro. Cavendish is leading with Flavoring, Burley and Virginia supporting. Room note is pleasant, and aftertaste is ok. Read Less
Tasteless

Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
Jonah somehow got in the tin. The only thing it does right is burn. Absolutely tasteless… as previous reviewers have said. I love Ashton‘s Artisans Blend and Rainy Day but this one is not up to par.
Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
Maybe 3 knots of wind has its place in sailing, like when taking out friends who get seasick easily, but even then you wish it were closer to 10 knots, at least 7. The tin note resembles 7 Seas without chocolate, but in the pipe the sails luff. Toba... Read More

Very smooth

An easy smoke, very enjoyable and typical pipe room note. Nice blend.
Lots of tongue bite & a not so smooth sailing experience
May 12, 2021
Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
Since I enjoy boating, I thought 'ah Smooth Sailing.' Upon opening my tin, I was welcomed with a pleasant aroma of chocolate and maple. I then armed myself with my Savinelli Extravaganza, I loaded one balsa filter into my chamber and loaded my bowl. ... Read More
It provided a steady burn, but a tongue and nicotine bite that was too much for me. The room note was pleasant, but I could not wait to brush my teeth, so the sailing wasn’t as smooth as I had hoped. I wonder what the tongue bite would be without the Bolsa filter system? My taste might be the problem, and so perhaps you will have a better experience. Read Less
Interesting Aromatic

Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
Lots of interesting flavours in play. It is quite sweet, and has a potpourri-like room note. In the end, it's maybe a little too sweet/floral for me, but I'm glad I tried it.
Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
First of all you should dry it for at least half an hour - as longer as better. Has a good taste and it’s a clean smoke with no bite. An excellent tobacco and a good choice for a relaxing evening. Recommended
Decent for a beginner

Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
Great smell out of the tin, somewhat reminds me of a thick jam. You really need to dry it for at least an hour, I would say, maybe even more. The taste is on the mild side, as well as the room note. It's not a very powerful aromatic so you still migh... Read More
t get the 'that stinks of cigarettes' but there is still a decent smell of coconut in the air. This was my first tobacco and can't say I regret it. Read Less

very nice and clean smoke. refreshing for a cool florida evening
Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
Glad I tried again. Skillfull K&K blending, yields a smooth, satisfying smoke, with a bit of nicotine in the background. Special mention for the Maple handling, which approaches superb without beating you over the head.

Probably my favourite aromatic. Had two samples, one slightly aged and one fresh and I got to say I prefer the refined smoothness to the aged sample. However both are pretty tasty!
Coconut Fanatic
February 22, 2017
Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
Ok, first off, I am a fanatic for anything that has coconut in it. I picked this up for that one reason alone. The coconut is more a hint rather than an overwhelming flavour. It's a very balanced and mild tobacco and makes for a good all day smoke. D... Read More

Name Doesn't Lie

Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
The name of this tobacco doesn't lie, it is a very smooth smoke. Has a very nice taste that isn't too strong but very noticable and delightful. Barely any tongue bite to this tobacco. It's a nice aromatic, this will definitely be one of my regulars.
pleasant surprise

Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
Smoked in a small Ascorti 9mm pipe, a light on tobacco with a nice room note, lacks body for those of us who like a wholesome smoke, but dont get me wrong it's lovely on a walk with your dogs, has no tongue bite and leaves no aftertaste in your mouth... Read More
, I would recommend for young pipers and first timers as its not hard to like, if you have a bowl you'll want another, enough said, just enjoy. Read Less
Sunday morning

Product: Ashton Smooth Sailing 50g
This is a blend that I enjoy on occasion, not an everyday smoke. On a lazy morning with a cup of strong coffee it is quite enjoyable. Dark chocolate is the main top flavoring of this mildly sweetened dark Cavendish.
